Dharma Protector Committee
Fo Guang Shan Hsi Lai Temple has always upheld the principles of Venerable Master
Hsing Yun’s Humanistic Buddhism and abided by the four missions of Fo Guang Shan: propagate
the Dharma through cultural activities, foster talents through education, benefit society through charity, and purify human minds through religious practice. Hence, we have been actively promoting our various Dharma propagation endeavors. However, with increases in activities, Dharma services, and number of devotees, expenses have also increased likewise. In initiating the Fo Guang Shan Hsi Lai Temple Dharma Protector Committee, it is hoped that we can put in our best efforts together to support the temple so that Buddhism can continue to flourish and the right Dharma can be preserved, benefitting followers from all directions.
This would require your resolve and support by participating in the Fo Guang Shan Hsi Lai Temple Dharma Protector Committee, the merits of which not only benefit your family members, but also plant bodhi seeds for yourselves. We sincerely thank you for your participation and pray for the blessings of the Buddha and bodhisattvas for enhancing your merits and wisdom as well as peace and harmony for your whole family!
